I remember my mother being beaten and abused. My father drank heavily. I recall that when my daughter began living with and having a baby with a guy who was in the Armed Forces, I took him for a beer one day and told him the army did...

a real man never hurts a woman.
be very careful when u make a woman cry,
because God counts her tears.
The Woman

and NOT from his HEAD to be superior,
but from his SIDE to be...

Okay...here's the long story from last year:

I've known one woman who was severely abused, and talking to her made me hate abuse with a passion. It completely ruined her life and gave her long-lasting emotional scarring. I include verbal abuse, assault, rape- all of it- in this...

I recently lost the Love of my life she made me feel like I never have before. I thought I could get her to leave her abusive husband. I am sure that our love is real and she wants to be with me. But when it came time to make the...

You can keep your sorrys
As long as you make yourself the victim
Your sorrys mean nothing to me

The one you are chosing to beat on
And...

It took me years to leave my husband. In the beginning it was great. He was good to me, took care of me, was successful and nice and all my friends and family loved him. He was my soulmate or so I thought. I got pregnant with our first...

Men who mistreat and abuse women give all of us guys a bad name. Whether the abuse is verbal, mental, emotional, physical, or even sexual.....The rest of us guys pay the price. Ive stopped counting the number of times Ive read stories...
